Change of Dates: South Rift Agribusiness EXPO 2018

After consultations with major farmer groups and the South Rift Counties, Slujan Events have made a decision to move the dates of the SORAX 2018. They have been persuaded by key stakeholders, farmer associations​ and CBOs​ who strongly feel that the earlier dates, being on a weekend, would disenfranchise some farmers from benefiting from the expo. On the other hand,​ some ​counties have made a request for a little more time to prepare well for the expo reason that their CECs just got into office late last year and some Chief Officers have not been appointed.​ ​Each county has specific value chains that they would like to explore during this very important event.

To accommodate the above requests, the new date will be 11-13 April 2018. So far, they have had over 50 corporates confirm their participation. This is an indication that the region requires this platform.
